In their own words
Kiosker
Kiosker turns an iPhone or iPad into a configurable, full-screen web kiosk. It can show websites, local HTML, PDFs, images, videos and other documents, with HTML5, CSS WebKit and native JavaScript support. Hosts can be allowlisted or blocked, and scrolling, zooming and text selection can be disabled. Weekly screensaver schedules can run unlimited events, showing clocks, slideshows, blank screens or websites. Users can add custom CSS and JavaScript through a built-in syntax-highlighting editor. Remote configuration works with Simple MDM, Microsoft Intune, IBM MaaS360, Hexnode and Jamf Pro. Kiosker can pair with Flic Bluetooth buttons and pass button IDs to a website through JavaScript. Its controls include camera and microphone permissions, certificate handling, cross-site tracking, passcode or Face ID/Touch ID protection, event logs and a REST API with TLS certificate support, IP filtering and access tokens. It requires iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or later, an iPhone 6s or newer, or an iPad Air 2 or newer. Plans include free access with a 7-day trial, subscriptions and a one-time Pro option.
Linutop Kiosk
Linutop Kiosk is Linux self-hosted software that turns a PC or Raspberry Pi into a secure internet kiosk or digital signage player. It displays photos, PDFs, videos, music, and web pages through configurable playlists sourced from a local folder, Linutop TV server, or USB key. Web kiosk settings include a starting page, website allowlist or blacklist, display options, and password locking. Lock mode restores the initial state at each restart. The software can run as a web kiosk, a signage player, or switch to signage when the kiosk is unused. Browser-based remote control works from a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and Linutop Kiosk is compatible with Linutop.tv for multi-screen management. Pro installation supports one PC or Raspberry Pi, with Ubuntu-based PC and Raspbian-based Raspberry Pi compatibility described. It includes Firefox or Chromium, LibreOffice 6, VLC 3, a PDF viewer, an on-screen keyboard, VNC, and remote management. Linutop also offers a free Linutop OS version. The Pro installation costs €79, paid once, excluding VAT.
